Human Stroller

August 15, 2012

Matt decided to walk in to work today – and make a detour downtown to go to the bank – so I decided to go with him. Practicing for mornings with the stroller!! Only today it was easy because the baby was fed, changed and dressed before I was ; )

I gave him an extra boost in there with a date and almond butter snack to fuel us for the walk. Also a giant water bottle!

The bank hadn’t quite opened yet, so we paid a visit to Cville’s newest bakery, Paradox Pastry.

They make all kinds of decadent desserts (and have croissant sandwiches, small salads, and beer/wine too!) We need to come back at 9pm instead of 9am!

Layer cake for breakfast!?

We both got coffees – a Paradox Shenandoah Joe’s blend. Would you believe it was cool enough for hot coffee this morning!

And we walked to the bakery.

While there I had plans for a slice of Whole Wheat Cinnamon Chip, fresh n hot out of the oven!

And tasted the Lemon Zucchini tea cake too – loved the crunchy crust!

I walked the long way home and am ready for a shower and some computer time. Pondering a way to get my feet up in the air!

We walked by there on our way to Bluegrass Grill when we were visiting a couple of weeks ago! My friend who lives there said it was supposed to be really good. Must go by when I get back around to that area.

In the June/July issue of Fit Pregnancy I read that woman who ate dates during their pregnancy were less likely to need meds to start labor or to help keep it progressing. They did a study and said dates have a compound that mimics the oxytocin… as a date lover, I was thrilled to read that. Keep those dates coming!

Hey Kath! Do you have any good sources/articles that definitely show that organic food is better for you? Especially fruits and vegetables? I have been doing this organic food co-op thing and I am having a hard time justifying the cost. It is easier to see why organic meats and dairy are better, I just haven’t seen anything very convincing regarding fruits and vegetables.

Kath, I ran by you this morning!! I’m in cville helping my best friend move into her apartment by UVA and dragged her with me on a four mile run. I would have introduced myself when I saw you downtown but you and Matt were chatting with someone, so instead we kept running and I was all “OMG I KNOW WHO SHE IS!!!!! THAT’S KATH!!!!” Haha. Have a good evening!
